Which U.S. Tariffs are Drawback Eligible?

With the Trump Administration's focus on import tariffs, businesses are once again feeling the pressure of rising trade costs. As these levies increase, many companies are revisiting duty drawback as a tariff mitigation strategy, especially with the April 4 Customs and Border Protection (CBP) brief confirming that drawback is available for the new across-the-board 10% and reciprocal tariffs of 11% to 50%.


Duty drawback is a refund of tariff-imposed import duties, taxes, and fees paid on imported goods that are subsequently exported or destroyed. — and for businesses looking to protect their bottom line, it can be a valuable tool.

Given the growing complexity of today’s trade environment, we want to share our latest interpretation of which tariffs are currently eligible for drawback — and which ones are not. Here’s what we know so far.


 

Drawback-Eligible Tariffs 

 

Drawback-Ineligible Tariffs 

Many of the executive orders linked below contain language like, "No drawback shall be available with respect to the duties imposed pursuant to this order."

 

Note on Low-Value Imports 

If your organization takes advantage of any de minimis exemptions, please note that this will end for low-value imports (under $800) from China on May 2, 2025. Where available, we recommend filing drawback to offset those costs.
